GB, that's a good analogy. I have on my desk a handful of LHCs that I am about to tear into. Since they are in the see-through plastic wrap holders I went ahead and scanned through a few of them to find the thick reddish rims that are telltale signs of Wheaties. One was a 1945. I also found two dimes mixed in there, which is odd. My bank is losing money with that kinda error!  I have yet to do half dollars...that might be next. I normally do pennies, dimes and quarters. |

yeah. the first two rolls that I got were from a bank inside wal mart. I told myself that I was gonna wait till I accumulated as many rolls as I could afford, then go home and open them. right after I got them I walked around the corner and opened them all.. one was all bi-centennial halves and the other had nothing special. but I just couldnt wait until I got home. and I will be going back tomorrow morning.

Wow, they've gotten expensive! I remember back in the day they were only $7 for a roll of halves.  |

I still get excited when my rolls appear (from the mailman) and I sit down with a beer (or coffee) and slowly (very slowly) open them one at a time and wait until I get a gap filler. Makes it a worthwhile.

Well the "excitement" resides in actually finding something. The "fever" continues until that dries up and you can't find squat no matter how many thousands of dollars worth of halves you search..... THEN it's hard to maintain that "excitement"....  |
